Title: Method for thermal treatment of granulated iron ore before reduction
Inventor: BEYZAVI ALI
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 1998-04-17
Abstract: The wet granulated iron ore is initially conducted through a drying zone. The ore leaves the drying zone at a temperature of 120-400 °C.  The ore is then heated in direct contact with hot gas to temperatures of 700-1,100 °C before being delivered to a reduction zone. The ore coming out of the drying zone is fully or partially guided through a separating device so as to separate the ore into fine and coarse grain fractions. The fine-grained ore fraction is conveyed to a granulating device so as to produce an iron ore granulate which is conducted to the drying zone. The coarse-grained ore fraction is heated to temperatures of 700-1,100 °C before it is guided into the reduction zone.

Patent CA-2300970-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEMING PER
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: In a spread spectrum communications system (10) supporting bursty uplink and downlink data packet transmission telecommunications services, significant concerns exist as to the generation of unacceptable levels of interference resulting from plural and simultaneous data packet transmissions. To address this concern, the system (10) selectively organizes an access schedule for mobile station uplink data packet transmissions and a delivery schedule for downlink data packet transmissions.  For the uplink, the schedule is transmitted to plural mobile stations (16) in a current frame (e.g., frame n) and identifies which one or ones of plural mobile stations (16) are authorized to make an uplink data packet transmission in a next frame (e.g., frame n+l). Only those mobile stations (16) scheduled with authorization to make an access in the next frame (n+1) then transmit their data packets (or a portion thereof) to the base station (12) during that next frame (n+1).  On the downlink, a notification of intended delivery is communicated to destination mobile stations (16) in a current frame (n). The system (10) then makes downlink delivery in accordance with the schedule to the destination mobile stations (16) in a next frame (n+1).
